25: Changing the plans
"Nothing can wear you out like caring about people."
~S.E. HintonAs the door closes behind Rosalinda, I pull out my phone and I dial Anna's number. I needed to tell her things were out of control and let her know I was the cause of it and also for her to know what I was about to do, I felt like she needed to hear it from me and though she hasn't said anything in the last few days, I know she knows what has been happening and at least now I come out with it.
Anna told me that the closer I got to those around Eli, the more my chances of exposure was but this isn't about me getting caught which was a very good thing, this was about me making someone happy and I don't know if that exists in Anna's dictionary but she had to include it. Nothing has gone according to plan since last week and eighty per cent of it wasn't even my doing, and so I need her to listen to what I have to tell her.

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.” ~Ernest HemingwayWe just recorded the biggest sale we've had since the month started and it is a thirty per cent rise against the previous month and how Oluchi and Francis did it, I would never know. This is part of my obligations and though it wasn't the most important, it was nice to be around my two PAs because they were two of the few people who didn't loathe Anna. They saw a side in her that they could work with and that is a good thing."It's all you, Ms Wilson," Francis praises while he claps his hands.I roll my eyes, "I did nothing." I state which in my defence is true. "I only had a thirty seconds talk with Mrs Cecil the rest was all, you guys.""Well, she said you were the most welcoming designers she ever met and
Ms Wilson's Replacement 27: Anna Wilson
"The worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you and yet you know you can never have them."~Anonymous¶¶I stare at myself in the mirror wearing a long red gown while trying to tuck my slightly protruding tummy by pulling in my muscles and stretching my back a little.Mitchell happened to be a guy contrary to my first thought and he brought out the red gown, telling me it would be perfect and when I put it on, it further proved his point. He picked out a silver scarlin shoe and a red clutch out and they went with them perfectly. At my request, he brought out a silver coloured glove which I know Anna would love.My face has about the right amount of make up it needs and thank God that I was already good before I met Anna weeks ago otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch up as fast as I did. I dug my feet into the three-inc

"I told him that I would love him with everything I had in me until the very end of everything, and I meant it."~Sarah OcklerAfter we finished dinner, the kids take their leave and Tunde asked if he could borrow Eli into the study for a few minutes. I had no objection to it so I nodded and the men take their leave.Hawa took me with her into the parlour which is a big room with massive interior design and pictures hanging around. She showed me a few pictures of her and Tunde. In some, they were older and in others, they looked younger."I first met Tunde at the bar." she tells me as she drops the picture down on the stand that it was before. "he was at his lowest and didn't figure out who he was or who he wanted to be out yet even though he was a few years from thirty."I didn't know much about the governor but I just thought he
Ms Wilson's Replacement 29: The best choice
"Love is shown in your deeds, not in your words."~Fr. Jerome CummingsRule #9 be by yourself as much as possible.My eyes peel open at the ray of sun on my face and moving around in bed grumpily, I discover that there is one less person in bed. Eli is already gone out of the room without my knowledge. He probably thought it would be best to let me sleep undisturbed.When he said he wanted me to stay the night, I thought he meant engaging in passion-filled moments, but he was referring to spending intimate time together and that's what we ended up doing.We stayed up pretty late last night, cuddled against each other and talking and relating with ourselves. Sight, as we hope, will stay under Aiden pharmaceutical for at least five years before even considering selling any of its shares. It was a smart move and I am glad that that was the choice they made.
Ms Wilson's Replacement 30: Not everyone is like Anna
"At the end of the day... all you really need is someone who loves you and always has your back."Anonymous"Amade!" Eli calls to Amade whose back is turned to us and searching for something that seems hard to find.He turns around and he smiles before making his way over to where we are. "For a moment I thought I was at the wrong event." He blurts out, his honesty in his eyes.We are at the annual Hand of Hope fundraising event which a lot of companies partner with and donate to them and they, in turn, sends all those donations to various institution and charities around the world. Eli informed me that, unlike the other outings they've had which he's had control over the timing, he couldn't do anything about this one. The event started at eight pm which was thirty minutes ago and would be ending around midnight. I asked him if we really had to be present and he explained

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." ~Albert EinsteinEli's POV"Look who we have here." The voice I know so well say from behind and I instantly become cold and I clenches my teeth together.Jaga SmithA part of me knew he was going to be around for the fundraiser, but a part of me hoped that he would passed this year event, but a devil like Jaga wouldn't miss the chance to taunt and make life harder than it already is for everyone."The three nerds." He mocks and stops walking as he gets close to us, his eyes move from every one of us until his eyes settle on me and a smirk appears on his face.My arms around Anna tightens and she must have noticed because she looks up with curiosity in her eyes. One thing about success is that once you get it, everyone thi
Ms Wilson's Replacement 32: The truth about sand castles
"The truth comes out... I think when you fight you find out who you are" ~Chris WeidmanQuynn's POVI decide to take a rest in the garden after about an hour of sketching and drawing and I adjust my chair and my eyes briefly close. I don't know for how long I was out, but as I open my eyes, I see Joey with a blue plastic helmet, standing beside my chair with a mischievous look on his face. I properly glance at him and find him holding a bowl of dirt and a shovel in his hand."What do you want?" I groan loudly. Since Joey returned, he has dragged me into one problem or the other and I don't know if it's because he's having fun or if he's just trying to torment me and I didn't want to do that anymore.It is bad that I can't call Anna and tell her the major change that has taken place, being Joey returning from school because that goes a

"Friends ask you questions; enemies question you."~Criss JamiJumai is standing and staring at me as though I have suddenly developed seven horns on my head in the last thirteen seconds and I swallow hard and stare at her in fright, expecting to hear the worse from her, maybe there was another way to do this, but Joey didn't give me much of a choice I should have known that that boy was going to be my downfall. Nothing has been the same since he came home and now here I am praying for the best but expecting the worst. To my surprise, she nods and gives me a small faint smile."Fine, let's do it," she says. "How do we get him out of the house?"Having Jumai put aside her hatred for me for one day so that we can throw a surprise party for her son is a success on my part and I didn't think it was possible.I turn around and I find J
